Londonist: London-y Films Not To Miss In February

Following Kingsman, could this be another movie partly filmed in SE11?

Still Life (Release date: 6 February / Certificate: 12A / Director: Uberto Pasolini)

Stars: Eddie Marsan, Joanne Froggatt

In our bustling London metropolis, we forget situations like this exist. John May (Eddie Marsan) works in ‘client services’ for the ‘London Borough of Kennington’. Specifically, he deals with people who have died alone and unnoticed, trying to track down an estranged relative or long lost friend to lay them to rest. For those who remain unclaimed, he arranges dignified funerals. But, ironically, John is every bit as lonely as those he buries. Elevated by a touching, restrained performance from Eddie Marsan, Still Life gives pause for thought. Just how many of the people you passed on the street today were a John — going home to a empty flat to eat a solitary meal, knowing there would be no-one to mourn them once they are gone? Sobering.
